PubMed is a free search engine that accesses the MEDLINE database, an online collection of scientific papers relating to life sciences and biomedical topics. PubMed was released to the public in 1996.[1]
How to Run a Search in PubMed
PubMed is an ideal way to find technical, scientific articles that will qualify as professional sourcing for medical claims. To run a search in PubMed:
- Go to the advanced search feature.
- If seeking secondary sources, set Publication Type to 'review.'
- If you'd prefer recent articles within the past 5 years, set Date-Publication accordingly.
- Simply enter search terms you are looking for as 'All Fields' although you can restrict the search to 'Title', 'Text Word', or 'Text/Abstract' if you wish.
PubMed Identifier
A PMID or PubMed Identifier is a unique number assigned, for purposes of categorization, to a PubMed paper.[2] PMIDs differ from PMCIDs, since PMCIDs are assigned to all papers in PubMed Central, not just those on PubMed.[3]
